Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A wellbore perforating system and method with reliable and safer connections in a perforating gun assembly is disclosed. The system/method includes a gun string assembly (GSA) deployed in a wellbore with multiple perforating guns attached to plural switch subs. The perforating guns are pre-wired with a cable having multi conductors; the multi conductors are connected to electrical ring contacts on either end of the perforating guns. The switch subs are configured with electrical contacts that are attached to the electrical contacts of the perforating guns without the need for manual electrical connections and assembly in the field of operations. The system further includes detonating with a detonator that is positioned upstream of the perforating gun. The detonator is wired to a switch that is positioned downstream of the perforating gun.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A perforating gun system for use in a wellbore casing comprising a wired perforating gun; said wired perforating gun comprises a charge holder tube; said charge holder tube disposed within a body of said perforating gun; said charge holder tube wired with a cable; said cable disposed circumferentially around said charge holder tube; said cable comprising a plurality of conducting wires; said plurality of conducting wires are configured for direct operative electrical connections to a switch sub. 2. The perforating gun system of claim 1 wherein said plurality of conducting wires are each configured for operative electrical connections to one of a plurality of electrical contacts; said plurality of electrical contacts are positioned in an end plate in said charge holder tube. 3. The perforating gun system of claim 1 wherein said cable further comprises at least two conducting wires. 4. The perforating gun system of claim 1 wherein said cable is a through conducting wire.
